This was in AM paper: USC is looking at a possible 6.9% tuition hike (recommended by USC executive committee). Would increase campus safety, expand academic success center programs, improve access for students with disabilities, hire new faculty, etc. If approved, would bring in-state tuition to $4,173 per semester, OOS would be $10, 816 per semester.
The whole thing hinges on the SC legislature approving the state budget. Right now, lawmakers are gridlocked on some dept. of transportation issues. In 2 weeks, the legislature will reconvene (sp?) and try to pass a new budget by July 1st. (Welcome to SC!! LOL!!)
